Powder hunting

[North Ga Hillbilly]

I'm going to be headed out in the morning on the hunt for powder, looking to load 147 gr 9mm. If anyone has any leads on where powders are in stock, or has some suitable powder in hand they'd be willing to let go of I'm all ears

Good luck. I'd try calling around first.

Gun shows seem to be the best place for powder now.

I was at the Army Navy store and Moss pawn shop this morning both had a pretty good selection.

I would give moss pawn a ring. They probably have unique.

Got some power pistol, hs-6 and h335 at the Marietta gun show today. There was a good amount of powder there.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I ended up in holly springs and they had unique. I wad worried after reading about some inconsistiencies with a Dillon not metering it well, but I'm lookin at 10 charges straight at exactly 3.5

I tend to stick with the slower powders for heavier bullets. Burn rates: http://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.html

I have used faster powders (Win 231 and AA#2) but it stresses the brass observably when shooting suppressed when using 147 grain bullets. Might want to try and snag a decent ball type powder around AA#7 burn rate, it's a good one for 9mm. AA#5 is really versatile and I use it in both 9mm and 10mm.

I avoid Eastman's shows but as has been said anyone possibly could be a prostitute, it's often a simple matter of price.
